If an object weight 50 N on earth, then it weighs 8.3 on the moon. For 100 N, it is 16.6 on the moon. For 150, it is 24.9 on the moon. For 200, it is 33.2 on the moon.
If the pattern continues, how many newtons does an object of 720 N on earth weigh on the moon? Round to the nearest tenth.

Spoiler:
50720 This is my approach to the problem. Each amount of newtons is proportional to the 50 over 8.3 8.3 x
fraction. Use cross multiplication in order to find x and then the amount of newtons will be found. My answer is 119.5
